Words by Igor MIKHAILUSENKO
Musuc by Lyudmila LYADOVA
Someone's singing a song
O'er thr river's pale blue,
As if all of her youth
She would give.
I remember the first
Of my meetings with you,
In that song it is you
'Tis you I percieve.
REFRAIN:
The Milky Way with radiance
Is a-glimmer,
And tear-drops, like the stars,
Bedow our eyes,
Just as they did
In that departed summer,
When Fate then introduced us,
By surprise!
(Repeat the last four lines)
Someone's singing a song
O'er the river's pale blue,
And it flies to the skies,
To the heights.
I remember the first
Of my meetings with you,
And my heart is so light?
So light, and so bright!
REFRAIN.
Someone' s singing a song
O'er the river's pale blue,
And it flies far away,
So sublime.
I remember the first
Of my meetings with you,
Here in Moscow it was -
Youth Festival time!
REFRAIN.
